BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT? Body water is the single most important

component of body weight. It represents over half of your total weight and almost

two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle). Water performs a

number of important roles in the body: All the cells in the body, whether in the skin,

glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else, can only function properly if they have

enough water. Water also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature

balance, particularly through perspiration. The combination of your weight and fat

measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body hydration level could be

insucient for healthy living.

For those using Athlete Mode: note that athletes may have a lower body fat range

and a higher body water range than shown above, depending on their type of sport

or activity. Body water measurement results are inﬂuenced by the proportion of body

fat and muscle. If the proportion of body fat is high, or the proportion of muscle is

low then the body water results will tend to be low. It is important to remember that

measurements such as body weight, body fat and body water are tools for you to use

as part of your healthy lifestyle. As short term ﬂuctuations are normal, we suggest

you chart your progress over time, rather than focus on a single days reading.

The Body Water % ranges published are for guidance only. Professional medical

guidance should always be sought before embarking on diet and exercise

programmes.

WHY SHOULD I KNOW MY MUSCLE MASS? According to the American College of

Sports Medicine (ASCM), lean muscle mass may decrease by nearly 50 percent

between the ages of 20 and 90. If you don’t do anything to replace that loss you’re

losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know your muscle mass

% during weight reduction. At rest, the body burns approximately 110 additional

calories for each kilo of muscle gained. Some advantages of gaining muscle mass

include:

• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density and muscle mass that

accompanies age

• Maintenance of ﬂexible joints

• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.

This product is for domestic use only. Pregnant women should only use the weight

function.

CAUTION : Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical device

ﬁtted. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

WHAT DOES MY BMI VALUE

MEAN? Body Mass Index

(BMI) is an index of weight-

for-height that is commonly

used to classify underweight,

overweight and obesity in

adults. This scale calculates

your BMI value for you. The

BMI categories shown in

the chart and table below

are recognised by the WHO

(World Health Organisation)

and can be used to interpret

your BMI value.

Your BMI category can be

identiﬁed using the table

below.

BMI Category BMI Value Meaning Health Risk Based Solely On BMI

< 18.5 UnderweighttModerate

18.6-24.9 Normal Low

25-29.9 Overweight Moderate

30+ Obese High

IMPORTANT: If the chart/table shows that you are outside of a ‘normal’ healthy

weight range, consult your doctor before taking any action. BMI classiﬁcations are for

adults (age 20+ years) only.

BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR) - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is an estimation of the energy (measured in

calories) expended by the body, at rest, to maintain normal body functions.This

continual work makes up about 60-70% of the calories the body uses, and includes

the beating of your heart, respiration, and the maintenance of body temperature.

Your BMR is inﬂuenced by a number of factors, including age, weight, height, gender,

dieting and exercise habits.

BONE MASS -WHY MEASURE IT? Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help

maintain healthy bones. Like muscle, bone is a living tissue that can respond to

exercise by becoming stronger. For most people, bone mass peaks during their

thirties. After that time, we can begin to lose bone. Regular exercise can help prevent

that loss. Calcium and vitamin D contribute to healthy bones. Good sources of these

are dairy products, green leafy vegetables and ﬁsh.

The bone mass readings given by this product are an estimation of the amount of

bone in your body. Those with osteoporosis or low bone densities may not get

accurate estimations. If you have concerns regarding your bones you should always

consult your doctor.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

How exactly is my body fat and water being measured? This Salter Scale uses

a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A minute

current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs. This current ﬂows easily

through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high ﬂuid content, but not easily

through fat. Therefore, by measuring your body’s impedance (i.e. its resistance to the

current), the quantity of muscle can be determined. From this, the quantity of fat and

water can then be estimated.

What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement

is taken? Is it safe? The current is less than 1mA, which is tiny and perfectly safe.

You will not be able to feel it. Please note however, that this device should not be

used by anyone with an internal electronic medical device, such as a pacemaker, as a

precaution against disruption to that device.

If I measure my body fat and water at dierent times during the day, it can

vary quite considerably. Which value is correct? Your body fat percentage

reading varies with body water content, and the latter changes throughout the course
